The Issue
No matter how well we secure our hosts we are always “vulnerable” on some layers of the infrastructure
Security is a prime concern for networkingWhile access to the network is enough to break its integrityStill tiny malicious actions can do a lot of damage
Usability stands in front of the securityInteroperability is based on protocols created more then 30 years ago!
So what is this “Network Security” about?
Physical Layer
IssuesLoss of power or environmental controlDisconnection, damage or theft of physical resourcesUnauthorized access: wired or wirelessKey loggers or other data interception method
Countermeasures Use appropriate physical access control f.e. electronic locks or retina scanningRecord video and audio in the company premisesEmployee trainingPhysical network isolation

IssuesMAC address spoofing Wireless accessibilitySpanning tree malfunctionsTraffic flooding on the switch level
Countermeasures Segmentation (VLANs)Use corporate-level wireless solutionsDisable all unnecessary switch ports

Transport Layer
IssuesConnectionless nature of UDPWeak TCP implementations
Predictable sequence numbersMay be disturbed by crafted packets Performance may impact traffic qualification and filtering

demoCommon TCP/UDP Attacks Network Trace Scenario
Session Layer
IssuesWeak or even lack of authenticationUnlimited number of failed authentication attemptsSession data may be spoofed and hijackedExposure of identification tokens
Countermeasures Rely on strong authentication
KeysMethods
Use account and session expiration time Use timing to limit failed authentication attempts

IssuesPoor handling of data types and structuresCryptographic flaws may be exploited to circumvent privacy protections
Countermeasures Sanitizing the input – user data should be separated from the control functionsCryptographic solutions must be up to date

Remember
Do inventory of services and protocolsLower layers are not dependent on upper layersUse Network/Application layer for Integrity & ConfidentialitySecure all layers for accessibiliyTCP/IP is more than 30 years old
It is not idealBut has many security extensions
